Mayors seek statutory plan update

Regional Organisation of Councils chairman Ron Dyne says they want Mr Seeney to clarify what is happening with a statutory plan for the region.

Councillor Dyne says it has been put on hold since the change of government.

He says the plan would provide regional consistency and guide local decisions on developments and infrastructure.

"That overarching plan provides some thread of continuity or compatibility right across the whole of the area so that builders, developers aren't being confronted with new and startling requirements between local government areas," he said.

The mayors say they will lobby for the expansion of the Bundaberg Port.

"We do need to get the Port of Bundaberg up and more invigorated," he said.

"I think that the Port of Gladstone is starting to reach capacity, the Port of Brisbane, if you're going to have more capacity there would require that you do a doubling of rail lines and so forth through Brisbane."
